The Army Foundation College has lots of sporting facilities, all of which are available for use by Junior Soldiers - time allowing, of course.

The hub of physical training at the College is the Gym. It's home to a 25m swimming pool and a 12 lane indoor climbing wall. The Civi Suite is fitted with an extensive selection of equipment to aid cardiovascular fitness, resistance and weight training.  

In addition to the Gym, other sports facilities on site include:  

• 6 squash courts
• 7 tennis courts (including 4 floodlit)
• 5-a-side football / basketball pitch
• rugby pitch
• 4 football pitches
• all-weather hockey/football pitch
• 6 lane running track
• High ropes/low ropes
• 2 cricket ovals
• 5 outdoor cricket nets
• 4 indoor volleyball courts
• 2 indoor and 1 outdoor netball courts
• 12 indoor badminton courts

The college sports facilities are also used by outside divisions to run competions in squash, hockey, football and cross country.

Sports activities and skills development play a big part at the Army Foundation College. They're an excellent way of developing team spirit and the confidence of individuals.

Each Wednesday, Junior Soldiers spend the afternoon playing sport, which could be as part of one of the many colege teams, or a more informal game of five-a-side football.  

Junior Soldiers also have the opportunity to practice sports and skills during the evenings. There's a huge range of sporting activities to choose from, including football, rugby (union and league) basketball, athletics, judo and swimming. And as part of the Sport and Skills programme, they also have the chance to participate in go-karting, motorcycling, mountain biking, power lifting, karate, target rifle shooting, sub-aqua diving, gymnastics and cross country running.  

Each Junior Soldier chooses one sport and one skill to take part in during his or her time at the Army Foundation College. They also have the chance to go on one of the many expeditions that the College organises - examples have included scuba diving in Cyprus, mountain biking in France or a rugby tour of Australia!
